about me

As a teacher of young children I have always written stories and plays for them and for my own children. Since retirement I have been given the time to write constantly and have now completed eight novels. My novel 'Sanctuary' was longlisted for the Alan Titchmarsh novel competition 2011, and I was advised by the organisers to take advantage of 'authonomy' to bring my work to wider audience. I also have my own website to enable people to look at my other works, read the synopses and first few chapters of two others so far. I hope that you enjoy what you read and help me to achieve the goal we all seek.

Other books I have written

The Box
Dream Doorway
Double Trouble
Table For Eight
Laying the Ghosts
One Man and his Dog ... Came to Tune a Piano
The Kindness of Strangers

'One Man and His Dog ...' is now published for purchase on Amazon Kindle

favourite books

All Erica James novels
Left Neglected - Lisa Genova
The Help - Kathryn Stockett
All Jane Austen novels
And too many more to list!

Sanctuary

Tina Cox

Laura believes she has found a sanctuary from her abusive marriage. Is this too much to hope for?


A fortuitous legacy and a change of name give Tessa Pengelly the chance to escape from the horrors of her past. Hoping to construct a new life for herself and regain her freedom Tessa looks forward with optimism. Her hopes are dashed as evidence builds that her abusive ex-husband, Ben, has tracked her down once more. As we witness Ben's ever deepening spiral into madness the threat to Tessa's life grows greater. Only a ghostly secret can save her.

Hi Jo, just finished reading a few chapters of 'Who Killed the President' and loved the pace, the wry humour and the style. I am sure you will reach the desk this month. Very best of luck. If you have time ( between celebrations!) could you take a look at my book 'Sanctuary'. It was doing quite ... view book

I have just read the first few chapters of your book and found it equally horrific and fascinating. To think that so many deaths can be attributed to coincidence in mind blowing. I have always been fascinated by crime and mystery so it was a given that I should find your account intriuing. I have de... view book

Hi Casimir, I have re-read the first few chapters of 'Bloodstones' and liked it as much this time around. I will happily put it on my watchlist to be 'shelved' later. Perhaps, in turn, you would take another look at 'Sanctuary'. I have recently done a major edit and partial re-write to the first cha... view book

hi Gail, I have just read the four chapters you have posted of your new book. I enjoyed it and would like to read more at some stage. I like the way you draw your characters who quickly come alive for the reader. Good Luck with it. By the way I remember that you looked at my novel 'Sanctuary' a whil... view book

Hi Lacy, what an intriguing story - full of all the teenage angst which even at my great age I remember so well! I have finished the first three chapters and really enjoyed what I read and became very involved with Honey. I wanted to shake her by the shoulders then hug her hurt away in equal measure... view book
